What is that L.L.E.G.O.O Mommy Mentoring Program?

L.L.E.G.O.O Mommy Mentoring Program is a weekly group mentoring meetup for young mothers, 15-25 years old, in the city of Yonkers. Young moms grab their babies and meetup with local mentors and friends (The Kid Keepers 😂) for 2 hours of food, fellowship, figuring it out together and fun!

Why support L.L.E.G.O.O. Mommy Mentoring Program?

Being a teen isn’t easy, now add being a mom to it, and yes it’s as challenging as you think. Teen moms often believe “life is over” after they become pregnant, and it’s hard to see differently if you don’t have a support network. L.L.E.G.O.O is just that! We’re a support network for young mothers in the city of Yonkers, offering many things from a listen ear to Zumba classes.

What does your donation provide?

Moms and volunteer mentors and friends, meet weekly for 2 hours. Meetups are focused, include a meal, and childcare so mommies get some “mom mental health time”. We have structured sessions and follow a pattern week 1 & 3 group session (could be a workshop), week 2 Bible study, week 4 health and fitness, and week 5 milestones and recognition. Food, baby item, rent, session resources and workshop facilitators cost! We also do our best to help moms meet their daily basic needs and needed baby supplies. (You cannot bring a baby from the hospital without a car seat.) We love and accept in-kind donations, monetary donations or you may see our wish lists and contribute a specific need. Every gift is a godsend and deeply appreciated.
